Love triangle: Timothy John 'TJ' Brewer pleaded guilty to two counts of assault and received a two-year suspended sentence

A betrayed husband has been charged after beating his father and hitting his wife in an alcohol-fueled rage after allegedly catching them having sex in his son's bedroom last month.

Caught in a bizarre family love triangle, Timothy John 'TJ' Brewer, 33, allegedly found his wife Logan Rae Brewer 'on top of his dad', respected Moab fire chief Wesley 'Corky' Brewer, after they had dinner at TJ's Utah home on July 11.

Furious at their love tryst, TJ 'backhanded' his wife and pointed a gun at her, before 'pistol whipping' his father, who later stabbed himself.

According to police documents published by TPM, the
trouble started when Logan went upstairs after dinner - during which they
had all been drinking - to put one of her children to bed.

Realizing he was alone in the house, TJ, a 12-year veteran of the Moab sheriff's office,went upstairs to find his wife.

Deseret Newsreports Brewer told investigators he found his son's bedroom door locked, got into the room, and 'lost it' when he found his father and wife in bed together.

Logan told officers her husband beat his father, then left the bedroom and returned with a handgun he had just loaded.

'She stated TJ hit her, backhanded her, and pointed a handgun at her face,' an officer wrote. 'She believed he was going to shoot her.'

Logan raced to her parents’
house after the altercation, while Corky returned to his own home to 'find a firearm.'

However when his
distressed wife, Cindy Brewer, tried to hide the gun in the car, Corky
allegedly 'grabbed a butcher knife and stabbed himself two
times, puncturing a lung and slicing his liver'.

Cindy pulled the kitchen knife out before Corky
was rushed to Moab Regional Hospital. He was too injured to talk to police and eventually had to be flown to a Colorado hospital for surgery.

TJ
and Corky were among several law enforcement officers in the extended Brewer
family, which includes multiple police officers and local sheriff’s
deputies.

TPMreports the sheriff's deputy went to the hospital to 'kill' his father, and was initially confronted by his uncle, Curt Brewer, who is also a sheriff’s
deputy, in the parking lot.

When police arrived, intoxicated TJ was not wearing a shirt or shoes and 'stated several
times that he wanted to kill his dad, that he wanted his gun to ‘finish
the job'.'

Police wrote in their report: 'TJ
made numerous remarks to each officer and deputy that arrived, about
all of us being stupid, dumb asses, and at one point stated we needed to
call someone with a brain to come and talk with him.'

Deseret News also reported that TJ, who worked in the narcotics unit of the sheriff's office, allegedly hit an officer.

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, officers accompanied TJ home so he could check on his children, breaking down on the way saying he had lost everything.

TJ was arrested and charged with attempted homicide, aggravated assault, two
counts of domestic violence in front a child, assault on a police
officer, intoxication, and disorderly conduct by Grand County officers.

However, because of the Brewers' law enforcement ties in Grand County, the investigation was passed onto the Utah County Sheriff’s Office who reduced the charges to two class A misdemeanors - assault and assault against a
peace officer.

The Utah Attorney General is also prosecuting the case rather than the local
district attorney.
